GLORIOSA SUPERBA 
This handsome African tuberous rooted plant known as the Climb¬ 
ing Lily has been used formerly as a greenhouse climber but, after 
repeated tests, we find that it may be enjoyed by the amateur as a 
most attractive climber. They may be grown on a trellis as they find 
support through numerous tendrils. Grows 6 to 8 feet in height and 
produces numerous flower stems 12 inches in length with large re¬ 
flexed lily-like flowers, opening yellow but changing to orange-red 
and deep scarlet. The tubers should be planted in a warm sunny 
situation or to insure early growth they may be started inside. In 
fall the tubers should be lifted and placed in dry sand in a warm 
cellar for the winter. 75c each, 3 for $2.00, $7.50 per doz. 
A snow-white summer-flowering Hyacinth, growing 3 to 5 feet 
in height, gracefully surmounted with from twenty to thirty pure 
white, bell-shaped flowers. 
Extra Large Bulbs. Each 15c, doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00. 
If wanted by mail add 15c per doz. for postage.
